SCOTT JOHNSON, Plaintiff, v. VEGETARIAN GOLDEN BAMBOO, INC., Defendant.
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
RE: ECF NO. 18
JON S. TIGAR, STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Plaintiff Scott Johnson served his complaint on Defendant Vegetarian Golden Bamboo, Inc. in this case on December 23, 2021. ECF No. 12. Under General Order 56, the parties were required to complete a joint site inspection by February 21, 2022. See Id. ¶ 7. The parties did not comply with that deadline. See ECF No. 18. Instead, more than one month after the deadline had lapsed, the parties filed a stipulation to extend the site inspection deadline. Id.
The Court notes that it has already been frequently required to address Plaintiff's, and Plaintiff's counsel's, failure to comply with the Court's deadlines. See Johnson v. Silvercreek Yuba I, LLC, Case No. 21-cv-05907; Johnson v. Gamba, Case No. 21-cv-06708; Whitaker v. Sugarman, Case No. 21-cv-07308; Johnson v. T&V Investment, Inc., Case No. 21-cv-09162.
The parties are ordered to show cause in writing by May 24, 2022, as to why sanctions should not be imposed for failure to comply with the Court's orders. See Civ. L.R. 1-4; Wang v. Nevada Sys. of Higher Educ., No. 3:18-CV-00075-MMD(CLB), 2022 WL 95428, at *4 (D. Nev. Jan. 10, 2022) (“Federal courts have the inherent power to punish conduct which abuses the judicial process, including accessing attorneys' fees when a party has ‘acted in bad faith, vexatiously, wantonly, or for oppressive reasons.'” (quoting Chambers v. NSDCO, Inc., 501 U.S. 32, 45-46 (1991)).
The Court will conduct a show cause hearing on June 7, 2022, at 2:00 p.m.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
